The Work of Edward Tufte and Graphics Press Graphics Press LLC P.O. Box 430 Cheshire, CT 06410 800 822-2454 Edward Tufte is a statistician and artist, and Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Statistics, and Computer Science at Yale University. He wrote, designed, and self-published 4 classic books on data visualization. The New York Times described ET as the "Leonardo da Vinci of data," and Bloomberg as the "Galileo of graphics." Topics covered in this one-day course include: A new, widely-adopted method for presentations: meetings are smarter, more effective, 20% shorter. Fundamental design strategies for all information displays: sentences, tables, diagrams, maps, charts, images, video, data visualizations, and randomized displays for making graphical statistical inferences. New ideas on spectatorship, consuming reports. Standards of comparison for workaday and for cutting edge visualizations. The future of information displays: 4K, 6K, 8K video maps moving in time. Edward Tufte teaches the entire course.
Here Are All 56 Finalists In Our 2012 Innovation By Design Awards Design isn’t the gloss applied at the end of the innovation process. Design is the innovation process itself. It begins with a keen insight into how people live and what they need; ideally, it ends with a product or service that’s so intuitive that it seems inevitable. It’s in that spirit that we present our first Innovation By Design Awards. The 56 finalists you see here were culled from the over 1,700 entries we received. (Each was released in some form over the last year.) Culling this group wasn’t easy. And as you dip into the projects that follow, we hope you’ll be as inspired as we were. Transportation The finalists range from an electric bike by Ideo to the new Ford Fusion. Consumer Products Many of the finalists suggest entirely new sorts of product ecosystems, such as the BioLite CampStove and the Nike+ Fuelband. 2-D Design Our judging panel leaned heavily away from traditional branding and 2-D design, and put a focus on disruptive innovations in data visualization.

Lorem Ipsum - All the facts - Lipsum generator Next-Gen 3D 'Sponge' Battery Could Recharge in Minutes, Retain Energy for Days We like to boast about how ‘smart’ our mobile devices and computers have become – but why are we still powering them with dumb batteries? Amy Prieto, a chemistry professor at Colorado State University, started a company that is created a three-dimensional battery with a core of copper foam. Although it’s still in the very beginning stages of development, this incredibly smart technology could lead to batteries that contain two times more energy and charge in five minutes flat. Although modern rechargeable batteries make smartphones and GPS possible, they’re still extremely expensive, lose their charge in short order and come loaded with planet-killing toxins. Prieto thinks it’s inexcusable that while our devices have become more sophisticated, our batteries have remained virtually the same for over one hundred years. The conventional battery surface is two-dimensional, which limits the direction and speed at which energy can flow. + Prieto Battery Via Marketplace

American Transportation statistics - How United States ranks Definitions Airports > With paved runways > 1,524 to 2,437 m: This entry is derived from Transport > Airports > With paved runways, which gives the total number of airports with paved runways (concrete or asphalt surfaces) by length. For airports with more than one runway, only the longest runway is included according to the following five groups - (1) over 3,047 m (over 10,000 ft), (2) 2,438 to 3,047 m (8,000 to 10,000 ft), (3) 1,524 to 2,437 m (5,000 to 8,000 ft), (4) 914 to 1,523 m (3,000 to 5,000 ft), and (5) under 914 m (under 3,000 ft). Only airports with usable runways are included in this listing. Citation "United States Transport Stats", NationMaster. "United States Transport Stats, NationMaster." 1960-2013.

History of Asphalt Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the beloved Little House on the Prairie, tells of her first encounter with an asphalt pavement. She was on a wagon journey with her parents in 1894 that took them through Topeka. "In the very midst of the city, the ground was covered by some dark stuff that silenced all the wheels and muffled the sound of hoofs. It was like tar, but Papa was sure it was not tar, and it was something like rubber, but it could not be rubber because rubber cost too much. We saw ladies all in silks and carrying ruffled parasols, walking with their escorts across the street. Their heels dented the street, and while we watched, these dents slowly filled up and smoothed themselves out. Today, this dark, resilient material covers more than 94 percent of the paved roads in the United States; it’s the popular choice for driveways, parking lots, airport runways, racetracks, tennis courts, and other applications where a smooth, durable driving surface is required.

solar powered roadways by scott brusaw aug 07, 2012 solar powered roadways by scott brusaw ‘solar powered roads’ by scott brusaw american electrical engineer scott brusaw has developed a system of solar powered roads as an initiative to change the face of national highways. his project ‘solar roadways’ aims to re-purpose existing concrete and asphalt surfaces that are exposed to the sun with solar road panels. he is currently introducing the technology in driveways, bike paths, patios, sidewalks, parking lots, playgrounds, before integrating them onto public roads. aside from providing sustainable transportation solutions, the concept will provide socio-economic advantages in all aspects of daily life.

2012 top ten: technology dec 23, 2012 designboom 2012 top ten: technology designboom’s 2012 TOP 10 technology features technology has had a big impact on the development of humanity in terms of the way we have communicate with one another, as well as how we interact with the tangible, and intangible for that matter. we’ve come a long way, and 2012 continued to give us a glimpseat what our connected future could look like, but at the same time saw the redevelopment of many old devices and technologiesas a sort of resistance to our rapidly changing existence. designboom brings you a survey of the top ten tech stories of 2012. 1. MIT researchers capture light travel at one trillion frames per second researchers at the MIT media lab in america have developed a new camera system that processes visual data at a rate of one trillion frames per second. the technology is capable of detecting light travel, producing images that can track the individual movement of light photons through slow motion video captures. 10.
